Language / The Polish accusative case [32]

-nad (when motion)

Just wondering, I would say that -nad- is more associated with water? ....the beach/sea or lake etc.
Nad jeziorem....(+N)instr Static
Iść nad jezioro (+B)acc Dynamic

Please correct me if I'm wrong.

Language / Too many English words in the Polish language! [709]

Are you listing borrowed words in Polish language? If so, I'm surprised that there are only 19 from Hebrew. Do you have a link?

I know its in there somewhere....

Language / Too many English words in the Polish language! [709]

hi

Latin origin: 2,627 words; French: 1,273; Greek: 1,252; German: 910; English: 313; Italian: 298; Russian: 89; Turkish: 88; Ukrainian: 55; Spanish: 52; Hungarian: 43; Czech: 42; Arabic: 32; Hebrew: 19; Dutch: 19; etc.

Not sure how good the source is, but the point for me here is that the language is filled with words from other languages and is a living creature constantly growing. Some people like it, some people don't- either way English most likely took them from somewhere else anyway.
